< Psalmorum 108 >
1 canticum psalmi David paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum cantabo et psallam in gloria mea
“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.
2 exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
3 confitebor tibi in populis Domine et psallam tibi in nationibus
I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 quia magna super caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.
5 exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo exaltabor et dividam Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
8 meus est Galaad et meus est Manasse et Effraim susceptio capitis mei Iuda rex meus
Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.
9 Moab lebes spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae amici facti sunt
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?
11 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris
Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
12 da nobis auxilium de tribulatione quia vana salus hominis
Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
13 in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros
Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
